Taking aim at Alan Grayson and his ‘progressive cronies’

The most recent FEC quarterly report shows former Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, who’s running again for Congress, still knows how to shake the progressive money tree.

The liberal provocateur raised $605,000 in the second quarter, leaving him with roughly $1.2 million cash on hand. None of his GOP opponents are even close.

One underfunded GOP foe, however, hopes to turn Grayson’s popularity on the left to his own advantage. Witness the above video from Mark Oxner that envisions a future under the governance of Grayson “and his progressive cronies,” a time when lemonade stands are forced to go out of business, the price of gas is near $10 a gallon and guns and ammo are outlawed.

The final scene, featuring Grayson pointing a prop gun at an unnamed individual, is equally as edgy.

While eye-catching, the video probably won’t do much to lift Oxner’s fortunes. Grayson is the frontrunner in the heavily Democratic 9th District, and Oxner, a political rookie, is up against three other experienced GOP candidates.
